Simonov's words are appreciated, to be like Andrey, to be able to pick up a random type of aircraft to fly, that is absolutely genius, to turn over the entire Soviet aviation unit, and not to find a second person, so, while the single-seat Su-27 is equipped with troops, it is necessary to have a two-seat Su-27 to train, raise the cockpit, pull down the nose to keep the center of gravity of the fighter unchanged, and transform the two-seat trainer type of the Su-27.

With the two-seater model, it can not only be used for training, but also add an additional operator, which is exactly what the fighter-bomber needs, improve the electronics, and better perform ground bombing missions, while retaining the air combat capability of the prototype.

The Su-27 has a good airframe and excellent improvement potential, which can be easily improved into various fighters. At the same time, carrier-based aircraft are also included.

Now, the carrier-based aircraft on the Soviet aircraft carrier is the MiG-23K, which uses the MiG-23 body, greatly improves the avionics, engine, and achieves almost the performance of the third-generation aircraft, after all, it is only a transitional product, and the next generation of carrier-based aircraft of the Soviet Union will appear between the MiG-29 and the Su-27, so the task of improving the Su-27 into a carrier-based aircraft has also entered the research and development stage with the equipment of the prototype troops.

Speaking of the mother-carrier aircraft, Andrei was also moved, this time Andropov let himself be able to inspect everywhere, this aircraft carrier, it is necessary to go and see it again!

"Yes, the task of carrier-based aircraft must be grasped, our aircraft carrier formation is a symbol of our country's strength, and we have a lot of rights and interests at sea that need to be protected, and we need our aircraft carrier formation." Andrei said. This time, how can these benefits of the Persian Gulf be obtained without a two-aircraft carrier formation? Now, there is a unified understanding in the USSR that aircraft carriers are a must!

"Comrade Simonov, about these improved models, did you grasp them single-handedly?" Andrei asked.

Simonov shook his head: "No, the improvement of these models, I gave it to our young designers, Korchin, Melyanov and Weapons Systems Designer Viktor Galushko and others, and I am sure they will be done well." ”

In the development of a model, it is the most difficult to start from scratch, and now the Sukhoi Design Bureau has a complete range of full-fledged models, and to improve on these models, it is already possible to boldly hand them over to others to develop them with complete confidence.

"Our design bureau has already started the development of the next generation of fighters." Simonov said: "General Andrei, we have been greatly inspired by the advice you have given us. ”

Next-Gen Fighters! In history, each generation of Soviet fighters is lagging behind the United States, resulting in the Soviet Union using the second-generation MiG-21, MiG-23 to meet the United States' third-generation aircraft F-15, F-16 situation, and the advantage of later design is that it can comprehensively suppress the United States in various performance data, and the disadvantage is that it is always a generation behind the model!

And now, on the third-generation aircraft, the USSR has caught up, and with advanced electronic technology, the development of the MiG-29 and Su-27 in the USSR is quite smooth, but even so, it is five years behind the F-15!

Now, after discovering that the advantages of the F-15 cannot be maintained, the United States has begun to make substantial improvements on the basis of the F-15, and has produced a major overhaul of the F-15C.

However, the United States obviously will not look at the backwardness of the Air Force fighters, and at the same time as the F-15C is being improved, the United States has begun the development of a new generation of fighters!

Just a few days ago, the United States began a tender for the next generation of fighters, which is five years ahead of history. Historically, the United States proposed a program for an advanced tactical fighter at the end of the 70s, but it was not until 85, after the Su-27 entered service, that it began. And now, just before the arrival of 81, the Su-27 was put into service, and under the stimulation of the Su-27, the United States began the development of the next generation of fighters!

Of course, the USSR will not regress, in the third generation aircraft, the USSR lagged behind by five years, and now, the USSR is finally on the same starting line as the United States!

Hearing about the development of the next generation of fighters, Andrei was very interested, and the meeting being held now was actually a debriefing meeting of the Sukhoi Design Bureau.

"First of all, our design indicators, the United States put forward a plan for an advanced fighter that requires supersonic cruise capability, super-maneuverability, stealth performance and advanced electronic warfare capabilities." Simonov said: "And our fighters, of course, are also in these projects, surpassing or at least on par with the Americans." ”

The third-generation aircraft has just been put into service, and the fourth-generation aircraft has begun to be pre-researched again, in fact, the development of military aircraft is such a law. (In fact, the standards of the Soviet Union are different from those of the United States, according to the standards of the Soviet Union, the Su-27 is considered a fourth-generation aircraft, and the new aircraft should be called a fifth-generation aircraft. In later generations, after Chengfei's Jian-10 was completed, Mr. Song handed over the improvement of Jian-10 to others and tinkered with the next generation of fighters by himself.

Andrei nodded, able to put stealth performance in a key position, it seems that the Soviet aviation industry will no longer go off the rails, focusing only on maneuverability and ignoring stealth performance.

"First of all, the general principle we have determined is that our current airframe is very advanced, so our new fighter is mainly to improve the existing airframe to make it have stealth performance, for example, according to General Andrei, the vertical tail will be tilted, the air intake will be blocked, the nose will also change shape, and the weapon will be built-in." "We have also started to develop a stealth coating, and we hope to catch up," Simonov said. ”

Abandoning unreliable plasma stealth technology, Simonov, at Andrei's suggestion, became more pragmatic.

"At the same time, on the basis of the existing one, we plan to equip the fighter with a pair of canard wings to improve the agility of our fighter, and the relevant design is being carried out." Simonov said.

Hearing this, Andrei was stunned for a moment, and blurted out a sentence: "The best canard wing is on the enemy's fighter plane, Comrade Simonov, if we put canard wings on the fighter, we are taking a detour." (To be continued.) )
